Memories of Maui: Butter Mochi Dessert Recipe

Sitting in my kitchen after whipping up the sticky, sweet Butter Mochi, I was loving that my 1 ½ year old, who is currently refusing to eat anything besides cottage cheese and chicken nuggets (no, not healthily homemade like I’d prefer, but store bought and shaped like dinos), was grinding on as much Butter Mochi

Classic Pumpkin Bread Recipe

I always love when pumpkin bread is available in local coffee shops.  The flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove are such fall aromas for me.  When I was growing up my mom would actually bake this recipe in coffee cans.  I’m not sure of the origins of this technique, but today I baked her recipe

A Lesson in Color: Purple Potato Oven Chips Recipe

The toddler stage is all about learning new objects, colors, words, and numbers; the list could go on.  During a recent trip to the grocery store my son and I were walking through the produce section naming off all the different fruits and vegetables.  There is always something new to show him or review from our

Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
